StRvivine Sotpiers oF THe Wak or 1912.— ‘The annual meeting of the Associated Survivors of the Soldiers of the War of 1812 of the District of Columbia took place yesterday afternoon—be- ing the anniversary of the declaration of war—in the Aldermen’s room of the City Hall. The fol- lowing members of the association answered to their names: Wm. W. Seaton, John S. Williams, St. John B. Skinner, Richard Bui , Dr. Wm. Jones, W. P.

A committee was ee to visit, on the part of the District survivors, the Maryland Con- vention of survivors, to be held on the 4th of July next, consisting of John S. Williams, St. John B. Skinner, James Lawrenson and Peter Berg- man. The constitution was so amended in the ith article as to make it obligatory on the Secretary, in case of sickness of any one of the members, i make the same known to the Executive Com- mittee, and for members to attend the funerals of deceased members. Resolutions of condolence to the families of the oe C. Grammer and Geo. McNeir were then passed. The meeting then adjourned to June 18, 185. Criminat Coutt—Judge Crawford. —Yester- day, after our report closed, the Court sentenced James Hagan to nine months’ imprisonment in the County jail, with a fine of one dollar and costs of Court. in the case of larceny of which he was found guilty. The case of the United States vs. Margaret Grey was taken up. Margaret is a colored wo- man, like many white persons, isa profound believer in the supernatural avency of fortune telling. Margaret lost a gold locket, and consulted a‘familiar’’ as to its whereabouts, who, after consulting the book of fate, announced to Marga- ret that the light-haired daughter of her Dutch neighbor, Peter Pepfor, had stolen the locket. Accordingly, Peter’s daughter was charged by Margaret with the crime, on the strength of the vision of the seer. Peter went to the house of Margaret to ascertain the facts in the charge. with an honest view to correct the fault of his daughter should it be substantiated; Mar- garet, mistaking his motive, seized upon an axe, and assaulted Peter, therewith inflicting several serious wounds about the head and face ; Peter made charge and had her lodged at the vernment expense at the jail, whence she came his morning to receive *‘ the law as laid down in such cases made and provided.”’ His honor ad- ministered a strong moral lecture to Margaret, and sentence of nine months’ imprison- ment to bard labor in the County jail, and one dollar fine This morning the first case brought up for con- sideration was that of the United States vs. Jas. Thomas, colored, for larceny of a hat valued at $3.50, from the store of Mr. Hopkins, on Penn- sylvania avenue. Verdict, guilty as indicted. The next case taken up was the United States vs. Crandall Hawley, for larceny of a horse on the 9th of May last, valued at $100, Property of Fielder Magruder and Woodford Stone. ‘his case shows the dreadfni bps, eae of domes- tic troubles. Mr. Hawley had u employed in various responsible trusts ; from an omuibus dri- ver he had risen to the position of clerk to the omnibus lines in B=ltimore and Washington; he had always led an honest and worthy life up to the time when he married a woman, who desert- ed him and took to habits of intemperance and bawdy intercourse His affliction drove the hus- band to the bottle, which led to mania a potu, and the consequent crime for which he was | brought to answer at the court. The District At- | torney, after a full hearing of the case, recom- mended to the jury that in consideration of these circumstances, and his always having been an houest man previous to the affliction which drove him to intemperance, and finally to crime, that they do not bring ina verdict of guilty, and the poor man was accordingly acquitted. ‘The Court took up the case of May Wells, alias Flarity, charged with larceny of various articles, such as a silk purse, gold studds, gold pencil, Stockings, etc... valued at $7.25. The case was in continuance when this report closed. CommissioneR Wise is making the new steam dredging machine do effective work in cleaning the canal. It is now in operation near Tenth street bridge, where its Titanic labors in lifting enormous weights of mud and depositing them with scientific accuracy on its attendant scow, is 2 matter of interest to all passers-by. The good results from the dredging. is shown in the line of inuimber vessels following in the wake of the ma- chine along the newly-formed channel, and de- posing their loads directly upon the canal wharf giving a quickened impulse to business in all the neighborhood. Commissioner Wise is a modest, retiring man, and one not disposed to blow his own trumpet; consequently we take the more oo in saying that no better appointment to the Commissioner- ship could possibly have been made as is evi- deuced by his works. A Srgeawseary Case.—While almost every- thing else in market bas been selling at a high figure, we have been favored with an abundance of delicious strawberries, at low prices. This did not suit certain hucksters, who wished to control the market, and at their instance Mr. S. F. Degges. who supplies the market with large uantities of strawberries, was brought up before Testies Smith on charge of on without a license. But Mr. Degges triumphantly turned the tables on his oppovents, by proving that he ‘was employed on the farm of Mr. W. A. Linthi- cum, of Anne Arundel county, Maryland; that the strawberries were produced on that farm, and be was sent to this city to sell them, by } thicum. Mr. Degges was of course prompt barged by Justice Smith; the would-be mo- nopolists retired in discomfitment, and the good and glorious cause of cheap strawberries was es- tablished on a permanent basis. AFFAIR ON THE S ET—COMMITMENT FOR Contempt —Yesterday afternoon, a collision oc- curred in front of Browns’ Hotel between Mr. S Butts, of this city, and P. J. Punch, in which » Panch was struck by Butts. Capt. Mills arrested Mr. Butts and took him before Justice Donn, who held him to bail for e. During the trial Punch was very violent, and ‘was several times told by the Justice that if he did not behave be would be committed for con- tempt. ee to the pavement, — began to curse use improper language. le was arrested by Otticer Kimball and taken before Justice Goddard. where he renewed his violent bebavior. Justice Goddard immediately com- menced writing a commitn:ent for contempt, but in the meantime a commitment from Justice Donn arrived. and he was taken to the prison by Officer Kimball. Taosx Ick Betis. —The church-going citizens of Washington have addressed numerous com- plaints to this office in relation to the enstom of peddling out ice on the Sabbath. ‘The compiain- ants state that near several of the houses of wor- ship ice carts are regutarly driven along with thelr jimgling bells attached, on Sanday, to the great annoyance of those who attend church for the purpose of worship. The question is asked cannot the consumers of ice purchase a supply on Saturday sufficient for two days, and thus do 2way with the necessity for the icemen’s Visits ou the holy Sabbath ? Turep District Porice. —Before Justice D. Smith —Margaret Welch was arrested yesterday for stealing ten dollars from Patrick Brady. She was committed to jail for Court, but was subse- quently released on bail. S.F Bireb and Thos. Pye were arrested for violating the market regulations by bringing stinking sturgeon to the market, and for occupy- ing stands before the market hours. In the first case they were fined $5 and costs each, and in the second rf and costs each IMPORTANT ScuGicaL OPERATION —The Alexandria Gazette notices an operation perform- ed by Mr. Jobn Richards, of this city, upon a lad ten years old, the son of a clergyman from the South, who was the subject of anchylosis of the elbow joint; the right arm having been stiffened ina straight position. and pace Nag A nearly useless.

Tux Horticttrvrat Exuisition.—The ex- hibition continues with unabated interest.

The awards will be read by the Mayor, and a full attendance of the members is ex .

Excellent music by the Marine Band will also be furnished for the entertainment of the visitors. Mr. Spence to-day contributes, from the garden of Mr. Corcoran, a beautiful nectarine, or smooth- skin peach tree, whose branches are loaded with large, ripe peaches; and trom the President's flower garden comes a magnificent bouquet, pre- sented by Mr. John Watt.

GeoRGETowN, June 19, 1857. We regret exceedingly to be compelled to an- nounce the fact that our bright prospects and en- couraging hopes of a speedy resumption of navi- gation upon the upper portions of our canal, which we indulged in a few days ago, have snd- denly been blighted, either by another accident or a want of proper management. On Tuesday. while the hands were engayed in repairing dam No. 5, were lowering the last or centre crib, (which was about one hundred feet long,) into its place in the dam, it broke in pieces and was cwwried off by the current. We are further in- formed, that ‘at the time of the accident, some one or two of the workmen were drowned. The work which has been done at this dam during the last few months, and which amounts to nothing, has cost at least from $50,000 to $70, and we are now a little farther from having any picerect of a resumption of navigation than we ave ever been before. Indeed, we have been in- formed by persons who have been on the spot. that it is exceedingly doubtful whether it will be rendered passable for boats during the season, as no furter efforts will be made to repair it upon the principle heretofore adopted. We have always, until the last few months, en- tertained opinion adverse to the sale by the State of Maryland to private capitalists, of its share of the stock of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal com- pany, but circumstances which have come under our own observation, and facts which we bave gathered from reliable sources, convinces us that we have heretofore been in error. We now be- lieve that such a step, and it alone, will give any- thing like permanency or stability to the work. Doubtless there are but few persons in our city, or the District, who are aware of the importance and magnitude of the lumber trade which is dove upon our wharves. From reliable information which we have gathered, we incline to the belief that not less than $250,000 changes hands every year for this one article of trade, and that the number of feet sold by our merchants cannot fall short of ten to twelve millions annually, to say nothing of the millions of shingles and laths, which comprise a portion of this business. It is doubtless one of the most unwieldy and preca- tious kinds of mercantile business done among us, from the fact that, asa general thingy, it re- quires a large amount of cash capital to conduct itto advantage, and is generally attended with more of the credit system upon long time, and Sap engaged in itare more apt to contract id debts to an injurious amount than in almost — other branch of trade known among us. The entire business in our city is conducted by three establishments—E. Pickrell & Co., Jos. Libbey & Son. and F. Wheatley. We have been requested to call the attention of the proper authorities to the outrageous conduct of parties of boys, large and smal!, who are in the habit of Rat ering about the premises for- merly owned by Col. J. C. Washington on the heights. On last Sabbath afternoon these grace- less scamps red about the a in large numbers, , after @ portion of them had com- mitted their depredations thereon, and were dri- ven therefrom by a neighbor, they kept the entire neighborhood in a state of uproar and alarm for some time by fighting a regular pitched battle, in which stones, sticks, and knives were freely aud effectually used, as the mecrapr § appearance of some of the parties conclusively show: d.

Mr. Editor: | have no desire toenter intoa news- paper controversy, nor do I intend to pursue the matter beyond this, but a misrepresentation of facta, by your Georgetown correspondent, with regard to the * gagging’? system now in use in our public schools, seems to demand notice f-om some one of the Lapebesi Katara yo one I, being ehief aggressor or ++ juent’? in the case, deem it pe to the ladies of the female schools to state that | am the (in his opinion) inhwman creature who introduced this worse than Chinese custom into the schools, though I do not aspire to the ingenuity of the person who first invented it, even as a ‘punishment for little children ;”* = certainly it did not originate in my bead or eart. ‘When I entered upon my daties as teacher of the junior male school.

My first care was to endeavor to bring them under some pod a by which I could perform my daty of teachi end, at the same time, fit them in some degree T ceiving the instructions it might be in my power to impart. On the teacher's desk laid a leather strap, and a rule, which, { was told by the boys, had been used sometimes as instruments of correction ; and though | have no objection to ing either of thei occasionally, yet, I found t to maintain order by their means would require more bodily exertion on my part I was willing to bestow. It soon occu to me, however, that I had seen, and used, small pieces of wood between children’s teeth, to prevent unnecessary talking in sebool ; so I requested one of the most talkative boys to get mesome, which he did, and I showed them bow they were to be used. For @, short : > time the fact of their being within my reach had a good effect ; ‘Dut soon the foud iaidag and: whis- pert: fe resumed, and 1 called two of the noisy to my desk, and requested each of them to take one of the blocks between his teeth, ee th os ‘Without the least hesitation; but mar! id not prop their ‘When I asked if the remain quiet were the “gags’’ re: ed. tl assented, and were dismissed to their seats, leaving the horrid things on my desk. I have since punished the same two boys in like manner, aad besides them, seven others, whom I could name if it were at all im- it; and worse than all, * it isstill kept up.”? If f understand Mr. Hyde’s communication, he does not assert that the punishment was restrict- ed to any two children, but signifies that the first offence grew out of the fact that two of the chil- dren had been punished for talking, by the ap- plication of the “little pieces of clean pine wood,’’ and that exaggerated accounts thereof having been taken to the parents of those thus outraged, as well as of some who had only been threatened with the terrible gag, they had been remoyed from the school. In one instance a girl left on Wednesday and returned the following Friday, positively not at the solicitation of any teacher, nor with any word of assurance that the gag should be no more inflicted, for that promise will not be given by those teachers whe have used it, unless at the instance of the Board of Guardians who are freemen and gentlemen, and the only proper persons to interfere in the matter. This return case oceurred in the Senior Female School, and though I had reported to the teachers my success in thus securing silence, 1 was not aware that they were using the horrible monsters or that we were the subjects of a ‘town talk.’’ On the day in which the cards of merit were awarded, all the schools, the principals, assist- ant teachers, two of the guardians, and a gentle- man interested in the progress of the schools, were assembled ; and then the principal of the female department expressed a wish that those gentlemen would signify their approval or disap- proval of the new mode of punishment, a little girl being called forward to show the manner in which it had been inflicted ; they unanimously preacanced it harmless, but left it to the schools lo determine which they would prefer, that or “the strap,’’ one or the other being indispensa- ble, at times, in order to enforce observance of the tales.

The following extract from a New York paper cannot fail to be interesting. In referring to the receipts of Teas in this country for one year up to 31th uitin t says they will be 12,~ 600,000 pounds short of the imports of the year end- H ing June 3), 1856, and that “The advance in black teas. Oolongs, since last December, has been fifteen cents per pound; and Noung Hyson Teas, of low aad medium qredés, have experienced an advance of one hundred per cent. over last season's closing prices. “It will thos be seen that the strong and rapid advance in the ten market has been the result of short supply and active demand ; but when it is 2on- sidered that we tay hear at any moment of the en- tire suspension of shipments at Shanghai, and. in fact, that, as soon as a sufficient force from England arrives at the seat of war, all five ports of entry in China, will prolably be placed under striet blockade, it would not be surprising to see Teas ata much higher figure than they have yet attained.” n view of these facts, we hold out very great in- ducements for families’ to Isy in their supplies of Tea now.
